Chapter 4 The Inn shelters from the rain(1/2)

Uncle Quan had thought that his master was dissatisfied with the emperor's gift of marriage, but he didn't expect that the title of the general's wife would be fulfilled now.

Uncle Quan was actually the person left by Jun Linfeng's mother before his death, and he had been taking care of him since he was a child.

Although Uncle Quan still hadn't figured out what his master's attitude towards Miss Rong was, he still took the order to find someone.

Two days ago, Jun Linfeng got the news about Rong Mansion and Rong Jingru that was brought to him by An San.

It turned out that Rong Cheng, the head of the Rong Mansion, and his wife actually asked their niece to marry into his Zhenbei General Mansion instead of their daughter.

But he suddenly became interested in this Rong Jingru and hoped that she would not disappoint him.



Rong Jingru didn't know this yet. Although they had arrived in Northern Xinjiang, it would take at least half a day to get to Zhenbei General's Mansion quickly.

During this period of time, she spent all her time searching the original person's memory carefully. According to the original person, the current emperor of the Wei Dynasty was already the third generation.

And this Jun Linfeng has always been in charge in northern Xinjiang because of the unstable border, which allowed the Wei Dynasty to develop smoothly.

Rong Jingru opened the car curtain and looked out, and found that the place was vast and sparsely populated, and then there was an endless stretch of desolate Gobi.

The breeze blew up a layer of yellow sand, forcing Rong Jingru to put down the car curtain and gently rub her eyes.

Jin Wushuang's cold voice sounded outside the carriage, "Miss Jingru, I think the sky is gloomy and it might rain soon."

"Girl Wushuang, look for a place to hide from the rain nearby, why don't we take a rest there first." Rong Jingru's soft voice came from the carriage.

Jin Wushuang nodded slightly, and then shouted towards the back of the carriage, "Mother Jiang, Cuihong, follow closely, it may rain soon."

"Okay, we will follow." Aunt Jiang and Cuihong's voices sounded in unison.

The two of them looked up and saw that the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was now covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain soon.

Rong Jingru took the reins from Jin Wu's hands and drove the carriage slowly.

After all, this was her first time driving a carriage. If Jin Wushuang hadn't given her a brief explanation, she wouldn't have known what to do.

At the same time, Jin Wushuang jumped to a nearby high ground, and finally saw an inn not far away from them.

Looking at Jin Wushuang's retreating figure, Rong Jingru actually became envious. She wondered when the system would reward her with martial arts secrets, and then she could be like Jin Wushuang. That would be great.



Jin Wushuang ducked back to the carriage, took the whip from Rong Jingru's hand, and then whipped the horse.

When Aunt Jiang and Cuihong behind saw the scene in front of them, their eyes flashed with golden light - this golden girl is so fast!

But the movements in his hands did not slow down. The three carriages jolted, and soon, when the raindrops were just falling on their heads, Rong Jingru and her group arrived at the inconspicuous looking inn.

This inn doesn't look big, and is even a bit shabby. There are only a few tables and chairs scattered inside.

But its business is surprisingly good, and almost half of the tables and chairs inside are occupied by people.

Rong Jingru took a quick glance and found that some of the people inside had blades in their hands. They looked like people from the martial arts world.

The four of them here, except for Jin Wushuang, are all weak women without the power to restrain a chicken.

After Rong Jingru and the four of them sat down at the empty table, they shouted loudly to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, bring us ten steamed buns and four bowls of beef noodles."

Rong Jingru hadn't paid much attention just now, but then she discovered that the shopkeeper of this inconspicuous inn was actually a beautiful woman in her thirties, with a graceful figure and some enchanting clothes.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir, and I'll serve it to you right away." The female shopkeeper smiled, but there was still a trace of surprise in her eyes.

Rong Jingru guessed that the female shopkeeper must have thought that the four of them were too delicious, after all, they were just four women.

Not long after they sat down, they attracted scrutiny from the people around them. However, Jin Wushuang's expressionless face, coupled with the cold air all over her body, made some people with ill intentions look away.

Rong Jingru saw Cuihong who was a little scared and reached out to pat her on the shoulder to tell her not to be nervous.

Perhaps Rong Jingru's comfort had an effect, and Cuihong's complexion slowly began to return to normal.

Although Rong Jingru has never walked in the world, she has seen a lot on TV and movies, so her face still looks calm.

Although there was no change in Aunt Jiang's face, the handkerchief in her hand was held tightly by her.

Jin Wushuang saw Rong Jingru's performance all the way and couldn't help but nodded secretly. She was afraid that she would have a headache like the daughters of other wealthy families. Now it seems that Rong Jingru is not as good as she looks.

Delicate.

At this time, the ones Rong Jingru and the other four had just ordered were brought out by the waiter.

The noodles were steaming hot instantly, mixed with a little beef, and the aroma was overflowing, wafting into the noses of the four people, making them feel appetized.

The four of them started eating while it was still hot. After all, they were starving after traveling such a long distance.

Rong Jingru was eating noodles from her bowl while listening to the conversations of people around her.

Rong Jingru looks obedient and innocent, with clear and bright eyes and a pair of pear-shaped smiles. She is even more eye-catching in her wedding dress.

Rong Jingru herself didn't expect that her hearing would be much better after time travel. At this time, she could hear the sounds in the entire inn. It seemed that this was also a time travel benefit.

"Do you know that General Zhenbei has been granted a marriage?"

"I know this."

"Perhaps the emperor thought of granting a marriage to our general because he saw that we were still not married at such an old age."

"I don't think the emperor would be so kind."

"Why don't I know where you heard this news?"

"Now it has spread throughout Northern Xinjiang, and you still don't know about it?"

Everyone was discussing this latest topic sentence by sentence.

But no one expected that the other protagonist in the topic they had just discussed would be sitting in the same inn as them, eating noodles.

"Miss, they seem to be talking about my uncle." Cuihong whispered.

"I mean Cuihong, I haven't even gone to court with him yet, but you've already called Jun Linfeng my uncle." Rong Jingru said teasingly, but her voice was also very low. She didn't want others to hear the conversation between them.

content of the conversation.

Being teased like this by Rong Jingru, Cuihong buried her head even lower.

"Cuihong, your head is about to hit the noodle bowl."

"Miss, stop teasing Cuihong, you see she is blushing now."

As Aunt Jiang finished speaking, Rong Jingru also noticed Cuihong's face and found that she was blushing just as Aunt Jiang said.

"Okay, let's eat the noodles quickly, otherwise the noodles will become lumpy and won't taste good."

After being reminded by Rong Jingru, Cuihong was embarrassed and raised her head again.

She looked down and found that just as her lady said, the noodles had begun to lump. Without saying anything, she mixed them with chopsticks and then continued to eat.

At this time, the rain outside the inn was still falling, and it showed no sign of getting lighter.

"Wushuang, it seems that if the rain doesn't stop, we will only have to stay here for one night." Although Rong Jingru was talking, her eyes were looking at the sky.

Jin Wushuang also knew what Rong Jingru was worried about. After all, the dowry was still placed on top of the carriage. Although it was blocked outside, she was still worried about being noticed by thieves.

At this time, the four of them had finished all the four bowls of noodles on the table, but they did not move the steamed buns. Instead, they asked the shopkeeper for some oil paper to wrap them up.

Through the rain and fog, Rong Jingru could only see the misty area outside the house.

Because it was raining, only a few of the people who had eaten chose to leave the inn, while most of the others still stayed in this inn.



A figure stumbled in, holding his wound.

"Shopkeeper, get me a room quickly!"

"Shi Wenqiao, why are you injured again?" The female shopkeeper had already stepped forward to help him.

"Xiangzi, come here and help you, Brother Shi." The female shopkeeper then shouted to the back.

While they were talking, the guy named Xiangzi walked out from behind, but what Rong Jingru didn't expect was that this man looked young, his face was yellow, and he was even a little thin.

"Shopkeeper, it seems that you are familiar with that person just now?" a curious diner suddenly asked.

"Judging from your tone, you are probably not from our side." The female shopkeeper paused for a moment before saying.

"This is also my first time doing business here..."

Before this man finished speaking, another man ran into the inn.

"Sister Hua, where is Brother Shi?" A young girl ran in panting.

"Swallow, that!"

The female shopkeeper just pointed her finger at it, and when the girl saw it, she ran up like the wind.

Due to her own reasons, Rong Jingru just watched everything that happened in front of her and did not speak.

However, he still exchanged glances with Jin Wushuang on the side.

Just when the diners changed the topic of conversation to the four young men and women who had just come in, the rain outside began to lighten up and the sky became brighter.

"The rain has finally stopped, and it's time for us to set off."
